In this coming year of 2010 - Planning to become a boss?

Hi, first of all, Happy New Year to all!

Any planning ahead? Sometimes, we are wondering what can we do to change our life towards more interesting, more financial freedom, more enjoying, .......

We are always tighten up with all kinds of activities especially working, working & working, we don't even have time to accompany our family members. We have to sacrifice our health, time, self-esteem, etc just to work for someone else. Sometimes, when we have one step backward to think about it, is it really worth?

If you are thinking to start your own business especially work from home business, 'do your own thing, drive your own wagon', here are some points for your consideration :

1. Decide what level of sacrifice and risk you're willing to undertake in order to enjoy the satisfactions of working independently.

2. A powerful vision. Why are you in business in the first place? If your vision is strong, you will be motivated continuously to overcome all the obstacles and strive towards success.

3. Knowing how to solve your prospect's problem. Add value to yourself. By gaining knowledge, you're building a bridge across the river that is full of risks. You are able to identify and provide products or services to fulfill their needs.

4. Understand the importance of marketing and learn how to do it effectively. The world won't beat a path to your door just because you build a better mousetrap about how to grow tomatoes. To get customers you will have to market your products or services effectively and continually.

5. What are your competitive advantages that allow you to stand out from the crowd? Whatever your unique difference is, this is the question that, once answered, becomes the powerful strategy for you to sustain in the market.
